As mentioned above, Facebook Gameroom has an easy to use interface and you shouldn’t have any problems figuring it out.

If I had to compare Facebook Gameroom to something you might be more familiar with, I would compare it to Steam, Origin, or Uplay. It too is a digital distribution platform that you can use to find, download and play games. The main difference between Steam and Facebook Gameroom is that the first is for serious gamers while the latter is for casual players.

The games presented on Facebook Gameroom are available on Facebook as well. But by using the Gameroom client, you don’t have to fire up your browser. You can play games in a dedicated app instead of playing them in your browser.

Install Facebook Gameroom on your PC, log into your Facebook account, and you will have access to a ton of games: shooters, RPGs, card games, puzzle games, runner games, and many other types of games.
